+Summary
+-------
+
+The **svg** package is intended for the automated integration of SVG graphics
+into LaTeX documents. Therefor the capabilities provided by ***Inkscape***---or
+more precisely its command line tool---are used to export the text within a SVG
+graphic to a separate file, which is then rendered by LaTeX. For this purpose
+the two commands `\includesvg` and `\includeinkscape` are provided which are
+very similar to the `\includegraphics` command of the **graphicx** package.
+
+In addition, the package **svg-extract** allows the extraction of these
+graphics into independent files in different graphic formats, exactly as
+it is rendered within the LaTeX document using either ***ImageMagick*** or
+***Ghostscript***
+
+
+Versions
+--------
+
+**v2.02b** (2018/11/12)
++ fix bug for package **tikzscale** which changes `includgraphics` globally
+
+**v2.02a** (2018/10/17)
++ fix bug for package **polyglossia** which fakes **babel** poorly
+
+**v2.02** (2018/09/08)
++ distortion of included and extracted graphics supported with options `distort`
+ (or `keepaspectratio`) and `extractdistort` as well as rotation for
+ extractions (`extractangle`)
++ fixed errors with active double qoutes from **babel** in path arguments
++ multiple dots within file names possible
++ package **trimspaces** required
+
+**v2.01** (2017/11/29)
++ new option `svgextension` to change the format of files exported by
+ ***Inkscape*** from `svg` to a custom one
++ usage of `\input{tex filename}` within ***Inkscape*** graphics
+ locates files in all declared searched folders
+
+**v2.00b** (2017/05/23)
++ improved warnings, if package **svg** is loaded by package **svg-extract**
+
+**v2.00a** (2017/03/28)
++ Bug fix for checking stock- and mediasizes
+
+**v2.00** (2017/03/27)
++ New maintainer: Falk Hanisch
++ Re-implementation from scratch
++ functionality split in two packages **svg** and **svg-extract**
++ package **svg** intended for including SVG files
++ package **svg-extract** for extracting graphic files rendered with LaTeX
++ **svg-extract**: enhanced support for ***ImageMagick***
++ **svg-extract**: support for ***Ghostscript*** added
++ package **subfig** not required anymore
++ support of subfigures stopped due to the huge number of packages which deal
+ with this topic and the large variety of implementing this functionality;
+ naming exported graphics after their consecutive numbering can't be ensured
+ for all variants of subfigures, so it's neglected
+
+**v1.0** (2016/10/10)
